Mountcastle shines, Cano closes as Orioles snap San Diego's 7-game winning streak with an 8-6 win
BALTIMORE (AP) — Ryan Mountcastle hit a pair of two-run singles, Cedric Mullins made a terrific catch in center field and the Baltimore Orioles held off the Padres 8-6 on Sunday to snap San Diego’s seven-game winning streak. The Orioles scored six runs in the third, when their first six hitters reached base before Randy Vásquez (3-6) was pulled. By then, he’d already walked in a run, allowed an RBI single to Ryan O’Hearn and yielded a single by Mountcastle that made it 4-0. Mullins hit a two-run double later that inning, and then the Orioles nearly blew their six-run lead. San Diego scored three runs in the fifth, and Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer the following inning. In the eighth, Mullins made a running catch on Manny Machado’s drive before slamming into the wall. Mountcastle then drove in two runs in the bottom of the inning with a two-out hit to give the Orioles a bit of a cushion.

Helping keep the heat on in rural Maryland
Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) has kept the lights on in the Baltimore region since 1816. But much has changed since the nation's first gas utility began powering Maryland homes. Today, electricity demand is increasing while wind and solar make up an ever-bigger share of the state's power mix. Under Maryland law, by 2030, renewable sources must make up 50 percent of the electricity that power utilities provide. The state's energy transition presents opportunities and challenges for BGE: As demand rises and more renewable energy comes online, the utility must ensure enough power is available when customers need it throughout the year.
Struggling Orioles Need Boost From Exciting Prospect
The Baltimore Orioles have had a rough July, going 8-11 so far, so it is time for top prospect Coby Mayo to debut and spark a struggling team. Since June 28, the Orioles are 10-13, and that is largely because they have struggled to hit the ball. Their batting average in that time is .239 and team OPS is .704. Both put them in the bottom half of MLB in terms of those stats. Over the past month, the Orioles are near the bottom of the league for most offensive stats. The team has gone flat, and a spark is needed. That is exactly what Coby Mayo can be. The number 15 prospect in baseball according to MLB.com, Mayo has all the offensive tools to succeed in MLB. The Orioles need to make a change, and Mayo is a great place to start.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers discusses working in tandem with Rashod Bateman
The Baltimore Ravens selected wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in the first round of the NFL draft just two years apart. The hope is that the duo can flourish alongside one another for years in purple and black, especially with how much talent each has. When speaking to the media, Flowers discussed working in tandem with Bateman this season, especially with both expected to take on massive roles in the offense. He mentioned how they’re going to work every day, trying to get better as best they can. “Honestly right now, we’re just coming out every day and going to work. [We’re] trying to get better every day. We’re just focused on day-to-day, and we’re focused on the first game. We’re just coming out every day trying to work, get better, listen to our coaches, and execute everything as best we can.” Flowers burst onto the scene during his rookie season, while Bateman has struggled with injuries over his first three professional seasons. However, if the two can get it going at the same time in 2024, it could help the team’s offense reach new heights and help them win another Super Bowl.
